Business Studies:Single

Course summary

Business at Sixth Form level is an unusually broad subject. There is a small element of arithmetic within the accounts part of the course, but there is also an element of psychology and much else besides. We expect pupils to have at least B grade in both Mathematics and English at GCSE if not the Business Studies GCSE qualification itself. However Business students, as with entrepreneurs, need to have some mental agility to be able to tackle difficult problems in different parts of a business’s operations. Many of our students go on to study the subject at university with the course being biased to their preferences; for example linguists may look towards international management or mathematicians towards accountancy.
